This is retarded, and you guys are being mind-****ed by alphabet agencies and the DOJ and don't even realize it. The goal here is to brand lesser and lesser criminal acts and actors as "domestic terrorism" and "domestic terrorists". Why? When criminals become domestic terrorists, agencies are able to tap powers granted under the Patriot acts to deal with those people. The government is able to use detention and surveillance powers not authorized for non-domestic-terrorists. The end goal here is to brand as many criminals and criminal acts as terrorism as possible so the defendants are privy to the fewest possible rights when being investigated and prosecuted.
